Words and music by John S. Dwight & Adolphe Adam O holy night, the stars are brightly shining It is the night of our dear Savior's birth Long lay the world in sin and error pining Till He appeared and the soul felt His worth A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices For yonder beams a new and glorious morn Fall on your knees, oh hear the angel voices O night divine, O night when Christ was born O night divine, O night, O night divine Fall on your knees, oh hear the angel voices O night divine, O night when Christ was born
